So it's been a while

After all this time it's hard to know what to write. 

Should I say that I wish I would have posted more? Sure I could say that - but I also am a firm believer that you shouldn't just talk (or in this case blog) for no reason. I wanted to wait until I truly had something to say. 

The past few months have been full of changes and obstacles for me. I had a come to jesus with one of my closest friends and truly worried if we would over come the issue we were facing. Luckily for me we talked it out like adults and are now better than every. This is good for me because she is the person that I think understands my creative side more than everyone else. 

It was hard to hear that a friend felt like I wasn't there for her, and that I wasn't being a good friend but I realized that it's not just about how I act but how people understand my actions. Although it was a hard lesson to learn I'm glad that I did. 

I also learned that while it might be hard to truly share how you're feeling about a situation at work - but sometimes it's what is necessary. I finally decided to share my true feelings about a project and a co-worker with not just my bosses but the co-worker. It was scary and uncomfortable, honestly it wasn't something I wanted to do, it helped in the end. I went from feeling like I was coming to work to work with someone that hated me, to understanding that sometimes people are just trying to push you to be better. That sometimes they see the potential in you that you can't see and so they're hard on you to make sure you fulfill your potential. 

A lot of times people go into these kinds of situations thinking that you need to say the "professional" thing and leave your emotions at home. However for me it was only when I truly showed my emotions and was honest that my co-worker truly got the message.

Also at work I learned about accepting new responsibilities and the importance of being flexible. I was transitioned into a new role (one I wasn't super pumped about) and had to learn how to do it without letting my feelings get in the way. 

Overall the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 have thus far been full of learning experiences and happy experiences. I have gained many new wonderful friends in the past few months and they have improved my life for the better. 

You might be wondering what the point of this post is...I want to share with you the importance of understanding and treasuring each life experience whether good or bad. Sometimes the worst experiences, ones that turn you into a crying mess, teach you the most. 

The way to make your life better each day is to take every experience and try to learn at least one thing from it. If you can do that you'll be a person who grows and evolves each day into a better person - and who doesn't want that.
